To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.

Don't marry someone you would not be friends with if there was no sex between you.

Told that the passing grade is a B or competence and that we will help you to get there, students do competent work. The lowest passing grade in the real world is competence. Why do schools accept so much less?

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.

Using no control and using humor will build a relationship and make a dent to where the client puts the counselor in their quality world and then begins to relate and seek out the counselor. Effective therapy begins with the acceptance of the therapist into the client's quality world.

No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.

The answer lies in preventing these failures, not in looking for better ways to fix the people who are failing.
